Dealing with flight disruptions can be very annoying. However, the bright side is that the European Union has regulations to help travelers when things don’t go as planned. If you’re flying in the EU, it’s a good idea to understand these protections. They can help you out if your flight gets messed up.

Knowing what you’re entitled to can make managing travel issues much easier. While it won’t get you to your destination quicker, it can reduce your anxiety when things go wrong.

Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004

If your flight has problems in the European Union, you’ll get help. EU laws make sure airlines take care of their passengers when things go wrong.

When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must offer you:

  • Food and drinks
  • Accommodation if you’re stuck overnight
  • Transportation to and from the hotel
  • Two free phone calls, emails, or faxes

If you’re delayed for a long time or your flight is cancelled, you might also be entitled to:

  • A refund
  • An alternative flight
  • Compensation to make up for the trouble

Remember to ask airline representatives about these things if your plans change. They have to tell you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.

Wamos Air Flight Delay Compensation

Travel setbacks from Wamos Air can be very frustrating. However there’s a silver lining: if you’re delayed for more than three hours owing to the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.

Laws in the UK and EU are in your favor. You could receive up to €600 per person. What matters is when you reach your destination, not when you leave. So keep an eye on your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.

The amount you receive depends on your flight distance. A short flight won’t be compensated as highly as a long one, even if they’re both delayed equally.

Interested in learning exactly how much you could get? Take a look at the table below to see the potential reimbursement amounts:

Less than 3 hoursBetween 3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursDistance
€0€250€250All flights up to 1500 km
€0€400€400All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km
€0€400€400All intra-EU flights over 3500 km
€0€300€600All non-EU flights over 3500 km

Wamos Air Flight Cancellation Compensation

The EU has laws to protect you in case of flight cancellation. Here’s what you should know:

In the event of a flight cancellation within two weeks of your planned travel date, you could be eligible for compensation up to €600. However, there’s a condition – the airline can avoid paying if they offer you an alternative flight that doesn’t mess up your plans too much.

The carrier can bypass compensation if they offer you a new flight that meets the following conditions:

Advance NoticeRe-routing Requirements
14 DaysNone
7 – 13 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight
Less than 7 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight

If you agree to take an alternative flight from the airline, you can still receive compensation. The most important thing is when you reach your final destination.

How much money you might get is determined by two things:

  1. The distance of your flight
  2. The delay in your arrival

So, even if you arrive later than planned, you might still get some compensation.

Refer to the table below to see more details:

€300€300€300€600€600Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km

The airline may not need to compensate you if they can provide a transfer to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even if you’re just a little late, you might not be entitled to flight cancellation compensation.

Which Wamos Air Flights are Covered by EU261?

The air passenger protection regulations of the European Union are far-reaching. They apply to every flight leaving a European Union member state airport and every flight landing at a European Union member state airport provided the airline is based in the EU.

ItineraryCovered by EU 261
Flights departing EU airports✅ Covered
Flights arriving at EU airports✅ Covered

These regulations also include airlines from Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland. This means when you travel with any airline to, from, or within Europe, you most likely have these rights. It’s important to be aware of these regulations – they’re there to help you if problems occur with your flight. They ensure you’re not left on your own when your travel plans fall through.

When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation

Wamos Air isn’t always responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. Occasionally, situations arise that the airline can’t control, like really bad weather or unforeseen issues.

For example, if there’s an abrupt major weather event, an airport emergency, or an air traffic control strike, Wamos Air is not liable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline has no control over.

When these situations occur, you likely won’t get any compensation. The airline isn’t seen as doing anything wrong when these unforeseen difficulties come up.
